Real estate has historically been a strong hedge against inflation in the Philippines.

Buying a Condo

Foreigners can legally own condominium units as long as foreign ownership in a single project does not exceed 40%. This is the easiest way to invest. Rental yields in prime areas average 5-8%.

Long-Term Lease

Since foreigners cannot own land, a common workaround is a long-term lease. You can lease land for 25 years, renewable for another 25 years. This allows you to build your dream house on a secure tenure.

Flipping and Preselling

Buying "preselling" units (before construction is finished) often comes with significant discounts. As the property is built, the value appreciates.
